Cottà is the oldest piece of land the Voghera family owns, and the Barbaresco that comes off it is the estate's home wine in the truest sense — two parcels totalling three hectares on the Neive side of the zone, one planted 30 years ago and the other with vines up to 60 years old. The site is hilly and southwest-facing on calcareous marl and sand, picked in the first week of October, and the cellar work is resolutely old-school: fermentation and a roughly two-week maceration in steel, then a minimum two years in large Allier casks rather than small barrels, so the fruit and the site do the talking instead of the wood. Livio Voghera runs things now, holding to the methods his father Luigi set in 1974 when he turned the family's Neive farm over entirely to vines and started bottling his own wine. Everything is estate bottled from 22 hectares, with around 1,400 cases of the Cottà made in a year. For traditional, single-cru Barbaresco with real old-vine depth, this remains one of the more honest values in the Langhe.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Brasato al Barolo, braised beef short ribs, tajarin with butter and sage, roast guinea hen or duck, wild boar ragù, mushroom risotto, and aged Castelmagno or Parmigiano. Serve at cellar-to-warm temperature, around 18°C.

Tasting Profile

Ruby red fading to orange at the rim. Aromas of violet, dried cherry, forest floor and baking spice. Medium-bodied and dry, with bright acidity and firm, gripping tannins that stay fine rather than heavy. The finish is long, savory and a little earthy. A decant or an hour in the glass helps it open.
